Refer to Table 8.2 as a basis for this problem. This month€™s master production schedule calls for the production of 180 sandals, 120 dress shoes, and 80 sneakers per eight hour shift.

1. What is the average cycle time for each model to achieve the production quota in 8 hours? Hint: Cycle Time = Operating time/ desired production.

2. If a mixed-model production schedule is used, how many of each model will be produced before the production cycle is repeated?
